SPORTING GUN WITH SUPERPOSED BAR-EELS.

.Application led July 24, 1922. Serial No. 577,073.

T0 all whom t may concern.'

Be it .known that I, BoNIrAoE' PETRIK, a citizen of France, and a resident ofy 'St. Etienne, Loire, France, haveinvented certain new and useful improvements in Sporting Guns with Superposed Barrels, which is fully set forth in the following specification.

This invention relates to an improved shooting or sporting barrels of the same kind as the one which is described in United States patent-applications Patents Nos. 1,434,627 and 1,434,628. The essential features of the gun forming l5 the subject-matter of the invention consists more particularly in the simple and practical construction of the mechanism for cooking the hammers, of the safety looking device and of the shell ejector mechanism, etc. V y

The following description will show by way of example with reference to the aocompanying drawing the way of carrying out the invention.

the uncooked shooting.

In the same it has been pointed out that the yoke' all in the pivoting oausesthe recoil of a part E constituting the cooking-device. This part engages through its end El a notch of the cooking lever 1 pivoted at 2; thelatter in its turn engages a notch 3 of the hammer or oook 4 pivoted at 5. This hammer is under the influence of a spring 6 which tends to make it pivot about the axis 5 in aoounter-olookwise direction, so as to causing firing. The hammer is operated by means of a trigger 7 pivoted at 8 the end of which enters a notch of the hammer, thereby looking the latter as shown in Fig. 3.

'-Conseqiiently, it will be understood that the hammer having been cocked, by means of the cooking device E and the cooking finger or leverl, at the breaking down of the gun, it will remain 'in this cooking position, when the gun is closed again. Such being the oonditions7 a pull upon the trigger 7 unlocks the hammerf4 which under 'the action of the spring' 6`pivots suddenly about 5 and strikes the iiring pin, as shown in Fig. 1. It will therefore be seen that this mechanism is siniple and practical. j This gun, likey all sporting guns and other guns, is providedl with va safety device constituted as follows:

` A pusher 10 can be brought, by simply acting upon the lock 11, into the safety or locking position shown in Figure 3, at the time this lock is acted upon. For this purpose the latter carries a rod or lever 12 moving under the tail of the part 13 in slidinglongitudinally when this lock 11 is acted upon, as shown in Figures 1 and 3; this lever v12 actuatesthe pusher 10 andthis brings it from position of 1ire4(Fig. 1) to the position of safety (Fig. 3). A

AThis rearward shifting of the part 10 allows the rsafety lever 14 to pivot aboutits axisl in a yclockwise direction, when lookg by means of aV the 1- firing the knob 18 connected to the part 10 tol bring it backA to the position shown in Fig'. 1. In this position, the safety lever .141 loes notlock the trigger 7 whichcan then be-acted upon by hand at every shot ofthegu-n.

The ejector mechanism isV asffollows-zl In the cocking finger or flever-n 1, lFigs;-A 4

ande, are fixedtwo-pinsorneedles20, so: that when the hammer 4 is-depressed,- Awhen shooting, .it causes. the corresponding cock? ing lever or linger 1-to rotate; (from th'ezp'ojiition shown in I4 igure. 3 to th'e'gone showninf Figure 1) so that the end 21v of the-,pin120fg breech as shown inx projects outside the false Figure 1.

This end 21 11, carried by the front part, and taking part in the rotary motion of -the barrelblock, when the gunA is being broken down. Furthermore, the catch of the barrel carries on each side a pusher 25 acted upon by a strong spring 26 and kept locked'by, a-nose 27 engaging a projection or vertical part-28- connected to or-forming-,part ofthe barrelblock. I

The said pusher 25 is so arranged as to act in the direction o f the arrow'29upon' an extractor pin 3() when firing has takenv place and the barrel is opened.I

In fact, as it has been explained above, when the gun has been fired, the end -21I of the pin 20 engages: underneath the part 22, so that when the gun is opened or brokendown, that is to say when the barrel-block is caused to pivot, the said endv 21 re` maining stationary the part 22 'is-pressed upwardly, slides and assumes the position shown in Figure 13, in which the pro-v jection 32 forming the end ofthe rod or pin 22 will cause a small spring 33 toproject inwardly. The latter which occupied previously the position shewn in Fig. 12 (closed gun) comes into the position shewnin Fig. 13 (open gun), when the ejection, of the cartridge takesplace.

In this position of press against the nose 27 pivoted upon the pushers 25 at 27?, which operate-.to shift the noses andunlOCk the pushers, which-.as-

they are no longer heldup,` are violently thrown byv the spring V26 and strikei-the extraction pin 30 in' the direction of Atheffa-rrow 29 to eject the cartridgeor shell.;

33V isshifted, the other sprin not being acted upon fromthe fact that t ie end'21 of the pin2() is not engaged under the part 22.

As in all other barrels, the extractors 30 are slightlyv projectingv at the moment the gun is openedlbefore the pushers 25 come intoaction so as to free the cartridges.

To this purpose, the cheeks of the false breech are each provided with a lug 41 (Figs. 1, 3 and 10) which, as shown in dot and dash lines,- Figs. 6 and 8,'engages inV front ofthe end of the extractor pins or rod'sBO. j

Accordingly,l when the gun is broken down, the lugs 4,1 upon? the'endsof the extractor Y' pins 30 and cause the said'A extractor pins to project slightly before the pusher 25 is unlockedto violently throw outthe shells-or fired cartridges- Oef course, ments :have been f given byv onlyl and it is well understood that they may be altered without in any way interfering, with the principle of the invention.
